Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Abdominal Distention And Swelling In The Legs?
My sister just contacted me from another state, my younger sister is very ill. She has a distended abdomen, can t eat, is weak and has swollen purple legs. She has a history of endometriosis and the removal of a large ovarian cyst resulting in a partial hysterectomy. She is 53 years old and a vegan. Today she took a bad fall. She is on a fixed income in a very small Kansas town and avoiding the cost of a doctor. Could this be serious enough to take her to a hospital?
Really sorry to hear about her condition, I understand its very important that she is urgently seen by a doctor in such circumstances. Acute tummy distention and leg swelling both need urgent examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
